Thank you to Alex O’Donnell and his family for the donation and sponsorship of the Sports Cup.
As this was his last year at Isobel Mair , Alex and his family wanted to do something for the school and came up with the idea of awarding the sports cup to the person with the most outstanding achievement each year.
This is a lovely idea and will certainly be an incentive for the pupils to win the cup for all their achievements.
Congratulations to Sara, Alex, Sophie, Amy and Stuart who all received their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award at the weekend.
This was the 2nd overnight camping stay that they took part in and also managed to 2 field walks. They had to cook their meals al fresco and coped remarkably well with the millions of midges…….. some more attracted than others!
Many thanks to our buddies and the DofE staff, Amy and Jim who supported our young people with the many challenges over the weekend.
Well done to our LochG Explorers we are all so proud of you.
Congratulations to Marc and Anthony, two of our senior pupils
who represented the cadets at the recent Armed Forces Day at Rouken Glen Park.
Congratulation to Romi who recently walked part of the 5k with her family for Reverse Rett . We are all very proud of you. 
Thank you to everyone who came to support our young performers during Stargaze Drama performance of Oliver last night at Eastwood Theatre.
The pupils were so excited to perform to a full house and I’m sure you will agree every single on of them were superstars.
Miss Antelmi, the director and all the children have all worked really hard during the run up to the performance.
The staff all give up their time to volunteer and make sure it’s a success for the children. From helping them learn their lines or dances to sewing patches on costumes.
Have a look at some of the photographs below.
Stuart is representing Isobel Mair School at the Play
Unified Glasgow Summit today. He will accompany with
3 senior pupils from Woodfarm High School.
Stuart will participate in motivational workshops and team building exercises.
Well done Stuart – a responsible and active pupil.
Classes Lewis, Staffa and Jura have worked with staff including Zoe and Aby from the Lifelong Learning department at the Royal Conservatoire Scotland this week on a Limitless workshop called “Under the Sea”.
Today class Lewis came bouncing into the adventure as they
were so excited to be back working with the students again.
They were so engaged and immersed in the theme of the
project under the sea.
The pupils had the opportunity to experience dance, music
and drama under the umbrella of “Under the Sea”. The repetition
of the songs immediately caught the attention of all the pupils.
Exploring instruments and the sensory props were a
particular favourite but the intensive interaction and
joint communication that was taking place between the pupils
and the students was very emotive.
We had Fay playing along with the guitar, Alexander
singing, Matthew shaking the shakers, Robbi and Zakeeb joining in
with the parachute games and Christopher was our very
own camera man, interested in the filming that was taking place.
Have a look at the photographs of Class Lewis’s session.
Tiree pupils helped some of our parent gardening volunteers in the sensory garden this morning.
All classes were asked to grow some plants and class Tiree grew peas in class and helped to look after them.
Today they transplanted them into the sensory garden. The pupils were all very excited to help Freya’s mum and Amber’s mum look after the sensory garden.
Congratulations to Zach who won a show jumping rosette with his horse Skye at the weekend.
Well done, we are all so proud of you.
Some of our senior pupils headed out yesterday on a trial run of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award challenge.
The real event takes place on Friday 17th June at Lochgoilhead.
They made their way to Eglington park in Ayrshire and set up camp.
Late afternoon they set off on an adventure, learning how to use maps to navigate their way to a central point.
All of these opportunities gives our young people an opportunity to be independent, self-sufficient and to be challenged as an individual.
Dinner was the highlight of the evening’s activities and pasta was the order of the day!
However we made the most amazing s’mores……….. and we had a great night telling stories and gazing up at the stars.
Our Duke of Edinburgh students have arrived at Eglington Country Park and have started to put up their tents.
The tents are now up and another challenge has been set…………..map reading!
Have a great time everyone.
Congratulations to Dylan, from class Staffa who completed his munro challenge, climbing Ben Nevis at the weekend and raised over £2,000 for Scottish Autism.
